Bill Cipher VS Discord (Gravity Falls VS My Little Pony) | DEATH BATTLE! 

Discord is the TRUE winner in our book.

Usually characters in Death Battle fight for no reason other than the occasional bloodlusted character or misunderstanding motive, but due to the context they found themselves in, Bill had the clear goal he was always shooting for since millenia. Because it's canon in both verses that there are infinite universes with infinite possibilities, this is canon in another timeline. The setting is just what Bill's wanted and struggled for for so long. It was freedom in a new dimension for him to conquer. This felt like a climactic story battle that would have took place after several arcs foreshadowing Bill's return and the big showdown. I never watched MLP, but from what I've read in the comments, this was a rare battle in which Discord was fighting for someone other than himself. Discord's goal was to save the ponies. If it meant killing Bill, that was no problem, but saving his friends was his top priority. In the end however, he died, but not before getting the slip on Cypher and sending him back. Did he cause it? Maybe. Did he end it? Definitley. Discord lost the battle but he won the war. Cypher will have to start all over again and take who knows how long to get out of his dimension, but next time, the ponies will probably have prepared by then and avenge their comrade who avenged them.

Technically Bayonetta managed it, but it wasn't intentional: the setup for that battle was Dante's entire goal being her - alive - which he didn't realize and expressed in exactly the worst way. Presumably he's now going to have to find a way to revive her... and probably can. (I do like that setup because it fits both series' narrative flavours: Bayonetta relies on the very long planning, little of it her own, to ensure whatever she feels like doing in the moment will turn out to have been the correct choice, while Devil May Cry lets Dante make loads of critical mistakes on the grounds that he's expected to be both capable and willing to then fix all of them.)

@@Mr._Pancakes well the ponies don't necessarily need to "avenge" him, as discord can just reform if there is enough chaos. they would just have Pinkie Pie, the pink pony, throw a chaotic party and that should revive him.

I would argue Widowmaker vs Black Widow. Widowmaker successfully assassinated her target which Black Widow was tasked with protecting. She dies, but her mission was successful.

Meh, mostly for Fluttershy, friends of a friend

Though Discord does his 4th wall bit before the fight saying he doesn't want to be shown up by Bill and that's why he'll fight

O yeah bill won 😊

Bill can regen his soul while discord cant

Starscream: What about me?! It's been 10 years and i'm still stuck in the gut of a goddamn pony!

Then Bill followed up with a "rimshot" from a rather conveniently obtained drum set after Discord made that "Just Desserts" joke.

@@SorenDaein Apparently Bill is a fan of Green Day as well, lol.

I think he tried draining his powers with the bell

It wasn’t super small we all saw it

​@@Unyieldingwill no I didn't

Scooby doo vs Courage, was a draw

​@@oscarcarbajal5135 Somebody actively participating in the fight still died though. It just wasn't one of the cartoon dogs because nobody really wanted to see them both kill each other.

I agree! It makes sense that Bill would go for the KILL but not think of some way to save himself trouble in the process. His priority was to defeat Discord while Discord's priorty was to save his friends, which he DID so in a way they both won

@@oscarcarbajal5135 So was Deadpool vs Pinkie.

I mean tehnically it could end with a bfr it would just need to be made correctly

thumbs up

Super and fabulous

Nice 👍

Dude, you can say that again

Nice 👍

Bill Cipher made one of the biggest mistakes in MLP history: Messing with Fluttershy.

Here's a thing there ofc is someone stupid enough to except Bill's deal so either way Bill can just takeover the Mlp universe again without Discord in the way

@@Stupidity-_- After he nearly nuked their universe? Yeah, I don't think so...

@@bismuth7398 wdym?

@@Stupidity-_- Why would anybody in Equestria listen to the Cthulhu Dorito after he nearly destroyed everything?

Tricking Bill into going back to his dimension was his plan from the beginning. At 15:12, the "invaded Equestria" does not have weirdness bubbles and at 15:34 the portal's color is blue instead of red at the start. That was when Discord took the fight to the Nightmare Realm disguised as Equestria by him and Bill didn't realize in his hyperfocus on defeating him. Discord's attempt at invading Bill's mind was further stalling to provoke and distract him as well, that's why he said "it was worth a try". It was never about winning for Discord. It was about saving his friend's friends

Eh bill got there once he can do it again I mean like he ain’t dead

I don’t know about that last sentence. Discord may be reformed, but he’s not THAT reformed.

So Bill won the battle, but Discord won the war.

@@DamontheDemon7 Bill was still definitely the badder dude in this fight, though.

As someone with a daughter can attest, every word he said about being a father to a daughter is the truth.

@@flmbyz You can say that again

Having a daughter or niece who likes it and wants to share it with you will do that too you.

Did you manage to decode the ciphers in bill's descriptions?

I’m not that good… but near the end, some of the frames have some repeated words in white in a black background, that says “Transform The Question Demon”. It might either be a reference to an episode, or possibly a direct quote said by someone in an episode of Death Battle.

"Buy Gold!"

Goodbye gold

@avonace9873 I ran the first one, "VOVEVM WVVA MFGA SZS," through multiple cipher solvers and the best one I found was "ELEVEN DEEZ NUTZ HAH"

I can see either Discord OR Bill saying that

But you’re not going to say what the ending reversed bit was??

​@@theendofthestart8179"the universe is a hologram reality is an illusion buy gold bye."

@@helios_is_my_name nice

this death battle gets debunked, its rigged bill cipher is at best universal and discord multiversal+ i can type an essay on why and show their attack potency, lifting and striking strenght, speed ect.

Where did they come form

I'm pretty sure they found that while researching Megatron/Unicron

The thing is, there was actually a Transformers/MLP crossover comic

Oh my god I just realized that when Discord showed up in the analysis section, he litterally says that he has no interest in fighting, but won't let Bill upstage him. In the end, he won by the parameters he set for himself.

Friends of a Friend.

Discord die protecting his friends, an honorable sacrifice in my opinion Should make a statue in his honor

It's also the only reason these two would fight. Discord would never kill, but he would challenge someone if they were a threat. Bill would never engage in a pointless duel, but he would destroy anyone who challenged his power. With Bill's motives in mind, and Discord's motives in mind, this seems to be the most likely outcome.

So the only person who really lost was Bill Cipher

Yeah because their nothing they can't do

@@austinking249 Or, to put it in fancy impressive science-y language, they're Apex-class ontokinetics.

literally the only thing worth leveraging is what they have to lose and Discord certainly has people worth keeping

Ttue

Well, i still think that Discord had better multiversal feats, while Bill hadn`t shown any above universal

That's... deep. Discord lost the battle but won the war and respect.

Finally somebody else points this out! The only way to defeat Bill is to do the one thing he can't comprehend: Be selfless.

Also luring him somewhere by distracting him with something he wants, or playing on his ego. He was too busy enjoying his fight with Discord (especially inside his mind) that he didn't even notice he wasn't in Equestria

this death battle gets debunked, its rigged bill cipher is at best universal and discord multiversal+ i can type an essay on why and show their attack potency, lifting and striking strenght, speed ect.

@@markmolayal9402 I love how he said he's an all seeing god just moment before getting trapped in that dimension (I forgot it's name)

OH MY GOD

He did he used what magic he had left to trap bill in a different dimension

I think that it rather was that he was slowly "fixing" the place before trapping Bill. First you can see the ponies floating without being statues, then the bubbles and mosnters are gone and finally he teleports Bill to his dimention. All of that and the way he hugs the yellow pony's flag makes me feel that Discord alredy knew from the start that he wouldn't beat Bill so he just distracted him long enough to repair all the chaos and then trap him

@@mdsystems4463 I love that headcanon and am adopting it.

@@mdsystems4463 You could also see that as the reason he knew he’d lose. He knew that if he started ‘restoring’ everything, it would totally lower his power. He’s the embodiment of chaos, so any ‘order’ Discord does would make him weaker. Not only is the bro a troll and was he able to teach Bill the meaning of sacrificing yourself for your friends, but also what the definition of a ‘Pyrrhic Victory’ is.

It’s a layed joke and it’s perfected

I thought he was saying they made their own merchandise lol

@@creationisntgood942 both, its both

Ok that is in insult to the people who work so hard on these fan animations

​@@AdrianAnimations360he was praising the animators for making the animation near identical to what you would see if the actual shows did have a crossover event

@@joeywinebarger202 I meant to say is that he is bashing fan animations that aren’t from death battle

They did?

@@ultrainstinctgokuhope7442 look at the text, you can see them insulting each other

Yeah. That was hilarious.

​@@Galvatron759which minute?

@@nachonaitor553510:56 is where I saw most of it

Lost the battle but won the war

I mean in lore Discord is a concept and can comeback free while Bill is still trapped though all he needs to do is trick someone into letting him out, so possibly stalemate?

@@lilmatty2466both will come back from death eventually, they are both truly immortal beings

@@ithealsinreverse5958 Bill isn't a truly immortal being because he isn't a universal concept like Discord is. He was forced to invoke the power of the Axolotl to give himself a chance at future reincarnation when he was about to be destroyed but if he didn't then he wouldn't have been able to do so. Despite his overwhelming power, his hubris nearly spelt the true end of him in that moment.

Yeah, I say Discord is the real winner of Death Battle, protecting your loved ones makes you a winner than having world domination. That character also won my respect too.

I don’t think this will ever get old

I love this callback, you brilliant human being.

Ooh, that's a good one.

This legit blew my mind.

then says go fish

@@hamham9668Yep, that's Bill

It’s chaos. Not supposed to be logical and orderly.

Nightmare demon/lord of chaos, bill.

The fact that the last thing Bill heard from him was his echoing mocking laughter… just wow

There's just something very satisfying about watch Bill panic as he tries to escape the Nightmare Dimension only for him to miserably fail.

tbh I thought that WAS Discord winning before Wiz and Broomstick came back with the analysis. I thought Discord teleported back to Equestria before the portal closed to trap Bill

Bill may have killed Discord, but Discord had the last laugh.

​@@mindshuffler3332He's an evil bastard, and he essentially "lost" the same way he did in Gravity Falls: completely outwitted in a way he never saw coming by a character's love allowing them to gladly sacrifice themselves for the sake of their loved ones, something he could never understand because he is an entirely self serving creature. It's glorious.

And they will continue to fight for eternity in an endless loop of discord resurrecting and bill coming back.

@@kirbystar7474 Wonder if bill could take on Mr Mxyzptlk

@@Dradogs2 Who knows but I do find the matchup interesting.

Why you gotta spoil

I count this as a victory for Discord, and I'm pretty sure that was only part of Discord that made sure that Bill couldn't get Equestria.

As someone who has watched most of it, that line hurt.

I'm a Fluttershy fan...it was hard to listen too.

Even if discord lost the battle against bill, but at least he won the war and had the last laugh by saving Fluttershy :) And it's also been established in the lore that Discord will always reform since he has to exist. He's a concept, you can't destroy a concept. He will always come back we just don't know how long. :p Basically if Bill ever comes back, discord vs bill cipher will happen again and the same thing repeats.

Which is ironic becuase in G5 it is Discord mourning dead Fluttershy. THIS SHIP IS REAL!!! (like One Piece)

@@MrConredsX …Did they die? I never got into MLP, just watched it during My Childhood. Beside that, can’t Discord just resurrect her?

I salute him. What a chad

It won't last. Sooner or later, some greedy idiot will release Bill. He cannot be permanently destroyed, like Discord can.

@@corjonbett Discord cannot be permanently destroyed either. In cannon, if chaos exists, discord exists. Great fight though.

Well, Bill wasn't more powerful.... he just had a better mindset for taking out someone who was an equal in strength. Still, making Bill's victory a Pyric one was still a awesome move on his part.

@@13KuriMaster There's also the fact Bill Cipher had way more resistance and regeneration than Discord which gave Bill the edge.

That’s a really interesting detail, and not one I noticed until you pointed it out! I wondered why they particularly had the cartoon one upside down, and I didn’t realize the puppet background was also upside down! 😂 I was framing through that sequence and saw the MLP Mabel using her grappling hook to save MLP Dipper. 😄 Love your spin on the prophecy, too. 😁

Discord’s title card at the beginning was also upside down

Ohhh so that's what that meant when Mcgucket said that G. Falls and Earth would "become sky". I knew what the beast with one eye part meant, but not the "become sky" part.

Also, after the bubbles, things are right side up, but there are no bubbles. Foreshadowing that Discord moved Bill back to his home dimension.

Jeez... these details just keep piling up for this battle.

That was genuinely terrifying.

His eye getting hit can actually result in pain for him but, he clearly cut off his inhibitors when he reached in himself... Sick AWESOME!! 👌😩🤌

Good thing he can regen

It was freaking ominous as f 😱

Moro always makes masterpieces. He's the guy who animated all the hand drawn Bill Cipher scenes during the fight, with the exception of when Bill and Discord were rubberhose animated.

Me too, hope someone make a fanfiction about it with final battle being the same on this episode

That's exactly what I was thinking: Bill won the Death Battle, but Discord won the narrative.

It really does. No Death Battle comes this close to feeling like a canon cross-over story with deep lore behind it

​@@alexbaribeault What about Solid Snake vs Sam Fisher?

@@parachilla4321that comes pretty close

Guess you can say Bill shoulda gone for the HEAD!!

​@@theggamer2824shoulda gone for the soul first

More like, even the most selfish of people can sacrifice themselves for others. Aka Stan, and now Discord.

Spike, write a letter!

Doctor strange should learn that

I know it was devastating 😢

Loser

@@fossilking444loser

it's been established in the lore that Discord will always reform since he has to exist. He's a concept, you can't destroy a concept. He will come back, he's fine

@@SleepyWhistles I mean Bill Cipher has killed Time Baby who was the concept of time meaning Bill could have concept destroying capabilities. So I don't see Discord living after Bill killed him.

What's more, he did it the same way Bill lost last time. When he says "I've seen your show" he wasn't talking about recreating the literal events of Bill's death, as it looked like. He was talking about making Bill overfocus on a goal (killing him), making Bill underestimate him (by making him think he took he misunderstood why Bill lost and took it to literally), and he performed the same type self-sacrifice Stan did, something Bill simply can't understand and thus never predicts. I also assume that what's written on that letter is a goodbye to Fluttershy, he just passed it off as a joke so Bill wouldn't suspect anything.

@@transfandomman1699 I think it's more Discord knowing he doesn't have to do anything anymore, he saved his friends and his home, he knows Bill's fate is sealed, as a concept himself, Discord will likely come back thanks to his friends, that letter you mentioned was also being written at the start of the battle about the importance of friendship and ultimately, that's why Discord gets the higher ground as he'll return back to his friends, but Bill is still stuck in his realm.

@@dragonquest8ftw1Discord’s conceptual existence is the whole thing that makes this war unwinnable for Bill. Even Reddit agreed on that somehow. So they were talking in Battles, which Bill won, but Discord most definitely won the war.

Now that a real one right there.

He did it all just to save Fluttershy and all of Equestria... I can respect Discord for that

My heart legit broke at that ngl

They need to tell us what that note says!!!

Discord: If I have to die just so Fluttershy & the others could live... Then so be it.

Remember: it's only a matter of time before Discord comes back. He probably left them instructions for how to help speed the process up. He wouldn't want to keep his dear friend Fluttershy waiting...

​@@bismuth7398imagine if it's bills note and he replaced the note discord made at the beginning to try to trick the ponys

Good point actually

Yeah Bill went out like a loser, and took the biggest L's in fiction.

If he IS truly dead. There are plenty of hints in the supplementary materials that Bill Cipher may not be as dead as we think...

It is also hinted at by the show that Bill is probably still alive but I still totally agree he was served a big L

Well said!

@@ronald_mcva Thank you!

Damn, one of the flaws of making an omnipotent being

Ha. Kill Bill.

@@Dusk_Mightyena "omnipotente"

This is why I hate disney and gravity falls as a whole and it’s creaters they made that stupid gross out show that give me nightmares and a existanal crisis

@@agsdragon5475skill issue

Discord did a Q Snap

They're upped their quality all around in multiple ways. Martian Manhunter vs Silver Surfer was top tier too!

That and the fact that Discord will eventually reconstitute, and he banished Bill from Equiestria in the process, thus saving everyone, and leaving Bill stranded in a burnt down husk of a dimension means that by all means Discord won the war here.

@@treybrzezowski3259yeah fair but bill wins the fight

​@@treybrzezowski3259Bill never wins the war but he is very good at winning the battle

@@treybrzezowski3259 Yeah i was honestly confused by the analysis; I thought that Discord had won and that he had only teleported himself instead of dying, with the idea that they couldn't kill each other and so had to settle for something, I guess.

It's also a good way to give something to the people who wanted the losing character to win. That even if they lost the battle, they still got something significant out of it.

this death battle gets debunked, its rigged bill cipher is at best universal and discord multiversal+ i can type an essay on why and show their attack potency, lifting and striking strenght, speed ect.

@@ShadeSlayer1911 True, if the contest wasn't named Death Battle, it would be easy to argue this was a win for Discord, despite his friends probably not seeing it that way. Though, I'm sure they'll make him a nice statue to commemorate his sacrifice.

@@David9413 see, that's why this way is so satisfying for both sides. They both win in their own ways. I know nothing of th3s3 characters before this episode, but I want3d discord to win by the end of it. And win he did.

This is what I loved about the Magneto vs Tetsuo fight. It made perfect sense given their characters, and Magneto understanding the pain and suffering of a tortured child and mercy killing him when he lost control and turned into a horrific monster was a great touch.

It’d be amazing if the book somehow referenced this battle, or even just Discord in any way (just like how he did it in his card description). But I doubt it tbh, would still be cool though.

Bill get so tired because many people think that Discord should have won, he decided to wrote a book.

I think that’d be cool. "There was one time I invaded a land home to sentient bootleg merchandise. That was a fun six hours. Yes, I said it only lasted six hours, and it could’ve been much, much longer, but I was robbed. As it turns out, this universe has a chaos god who cares a lot about a world he doesn’t even control. In fact, he cared so much about it that he actually fought against me for it and, in the process, tricked me and my friends into returning home while I was under the illusion that I was still in his world. You wouldn’t believe how much I absolutely detest that creature, making a fool out of and even invading _my_ mind. I didn’t even realise I’d been booted from his world until it was too late for me to return there, and worst? Even though I destroyed him, I _know_ for a fact his chaotic powers will just send his essence back to his world, where I imagine he’s enjoying himself. Not to mention he might’ve joined me if I’d invaded his world sooner. Oh, well. You win some, you lose some. I just wish it hadn’t been that world. Fortunately, I know of another portal between that world and Stanford’s. (Something that even Sixer doesn’t know about). Once I was done with that universe, I could’ve easily moved onto Stanford’s, but I guess it’ll be vice-versa here. Either way, once I find the hidden portal to that dimension, I’ll make sure the first thing I do is settle an old score and take back what is mine!"

With enough chaos he can recreate his soul and physical body, he has a plan to defeat bill knowing there was no chance to destroy bill

The quivering in Fluttershy's voice as she's saying Discord's name with the note on the ground really hit home. Did a great job with this one!!

​@@monsterplay1007it's an interesting question to consider, since Bill is capable of eradicating entire souls and spirits from existence. But I also realize Discord reshaped himself from nothing before, too. Regardless, it's a really solid and touching way to go

@@monsterplay1007honestly it’s hard to say how he died as we don’t know what bill did to him either way I guess everybody wins as they both come back no matter what

I believe Discord foresaw that he was going to lose, and that's why he wrote that letter at the start of the fight. Probably copium but maybe he's still out there. You can't truly 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭 chaos, after all.

And they even mention that discord would likely reform, but not quick enough to continue the fight.

I think Discord knew the cost. Wasn't what he preferred, but he died laughing knowing his friends are safe.

@RoxxieVoicesThingsbill won the fight, he had to get nerfed by the plot

Galactus vs Unicron? MARVEL x Transformers.

@@drik6588 Don't care

A luxury he CAN afford probably, for he is a concept and cannot be completely erased. He would return eventually

I used to not like MLP FiM, but after watching it, I like it Anyways, after his action of saving fluttershy and equestria, i salute to him. What a chad

That last part amazingly showed the difference between Bill and Discord. Just like Death Battle said, Discord was never TRULY evil. He was just chaotic neutral, and it just so happened that it was dangerous for the citizens of Equestria. But Bill definitely IS a force of malevolence. Bill just uses chaos and destruction to further his own conquest, and even his own underlings aren't safe from his uncaring schemes. Having friends to fight for and sacrifice yourself for... is something Bill could NEVER understand. Heck, that's how the Pines beat him, after all.

I came for chaos and violence not feelings. They got me good.

There was a letter infront of whr two from discord, he knew he was gonna lose

@@mrreyes5004Well said! I also adore how their deaths, Bill’s in his own show and Discord’s in this death battle, show their true natures. Discord went out laughing, saving those he cared about. He died a noble death because he cared more about the world and Fluttershy than he did about himself. Meanwhile, Bill went out begging and desperately trying to make a deal. He only cared about himself, so when he died, there was no solice. He died kicking and screaming with zero dignity.

Well, Discord hovers between Chaotic Neutral and Chaotic Good depending on the day.

@@SinHurr And Lawful Evil that one time.

Discord is Chaotic Neutral/Good Bill is Chaotic Evil

​@@SinHurrYes, but in the face of evil and oblivion, one tends to be slid into Good just to counter it.

I would call Discord at worst is Chaotic Necessary-Evil. Several times he’s helped others by being the villain encouraging others to grow stronger and build bonds.

Actually discord would win cause the chaos makes him stronger and if he took this fight serious bill cypher won't stood a chance he could had also use grogar bell or had bill cypher go into his mind

​​@@user-ni2nv2tg2tFor every second Bill is out in our reality he grows stronger so that cancels Discords chaos power increase. Still incredibly fun video to see. We dont know if Bill's power is magic or staright up RM . So Grogars bell is out of question. A fun video neverthless

@@Bill_Cipher_OG but again discord could do the same and you say he in our world the only thing in our world is just his statue he not really out he still trap in gravity falls this is a weak claim

@@Bill_Cipher_OG grogar bell can absorb any energy so it's not out of the battle it would still work on bill cypher

@@user-ni2nv2tg2t In our world, i mean his physical form in Graviry Falls, not in the world we are living. We havent seen Grogars bell absorb any energy other than magic. Thats a weak claim.

Funny how: Both were voiced by the same VA in Brazil (Discord has 2 VAs actually. Second one is also Soos' voice, Cesar Marchetti) Today is the birthday of said VA (Marcelo Pissardini)

Also, honestly even with Discord losing, this is still a best case scenario since I don't think Discord can technically truly ever die. Bill might have been able to destroy his physical and spiritual form but, chaos will always exist and the ponies might be able to bring him back with enough chaos.

​@@corneliussnow8215since he just always come back

Wait, was that what he meant by "I know how you die?". He wasn't referring to the mind burn, he was referring to a self-sacrifice play.

@@corneliussnow8215 it’s true he has confirmed this too but it’s takes a long time for his body too restore completely

Mine was the puppet part where they stop and say hi to the kids. It was funny and shows that they can break the fourth wall.

@@etanexsists3086 that was great too. This episode had so many great funny moments to pick from. Goes without saying, the animation was superb and they clearly did their research like usual. Possibly my favorite episode, seriously!

And to top it off the background song has them singing diss lyrics epic rap battles style at each other.

Yep, this is one of the most creative they've done so far. Popeye vs. Saitama is my favorite though.

When

It was very close but yeah I understand why discord would win

?

?

I mean, considering Discord can’t stay permanently dead, yeah it was a genius move.

Death Battle made both characters justice in this fight.

​@@stevelucky7579 he cant regenerate his soul he ded for good

​@@thomasbusch834nah,.as long as Chaos exists he will exist so...

@@tristancummings5925 the tragedy of this though is he probably won't return before FlutterShy passes from old age ...

You realized Team My Little Pony lost AGAIN, right?

In the end, Discord had the last laugh... Literally (16:43 to 16:46)

Safe for now

True Bill won the Death Battle, but Discord won the war.

Like a boss, he took the "L" for the "W" in the end.

by technically, if discord was able to erase bill memories and identity, then bill would most likely become a non threat

THANK YOU

I actually figured that out moment he pull it off and the way he behave and acted indicated that this is his plan from the beginning

Thank you for explaining that because I never watched either show lol

It's actually a little more elaborate than that. It seems Discord constructed a fake copy of the Equestria world around Bill (like a box to keep him in) while moving him back into his prison dimension, so that Bill would not notice what was being done. He also presumably attacked Bill's mind despite knowing he would lose just so he could distract Bill long enough to move him.

​​@@GigaLigmaentonces podríamos considerar esto un empate a medias?, es que Bill salió tan afectado, que es dudosa su victoria

​@@rodrigofigueredo4422No, Bill ganó la pelea, no fue empate Pero fue Discord quien frustró el plan de Bill y salvó Equestria Básicamente ganó a la larga

Both were goofing around until Bill with his naturally short temper became too much for Discord to keep up with

This battle captured their characters way too well

Nah Bill is stronger but he isn't far

Discord does take things seriously against actual threats like with Cosmos

​@@Caulikaibill is a 2d dream demon who loves causing Chaos. Discord is the living embodiment of Chaos. As along as Chasos exist he cant stay dead forever and will allways reform.

In the end, Bill may laugh maniacally but Discord had the last laugh

Discord is also able to resurrect himself so even if bill comes back it will happen all over again creating the ultimate tie.

He also left Fluttershy a letter in the end, the same he has been writing before battle started. Discord knew his future and that he will lose.

@@kirbystar7474 I don't think he can in this instance

@@Blaze_the_cat_ Oh, he can. So long as the concept of chaos exists, Discord will always be able to return.

There actually not equal discord is far superior he was only toying with bill and plust when flutter shy got taken he got serious death battles clearly dint do there research enough

I thought the exact same thing. I had to re-watch it!

They went crazy with the budget and animation change in the bubbles.

Discord won the war. He lost the (Death) Battle, though.

Well, he did say he knew how bill Died, and technically, he did kill him in a sense

Ohhh been trying to figure out what he said there for ages. Kept hearing powers instead of home for some reason

The cherry on top is at 16:44. Discord literally laughed at Bill Cipher's face before he died, meaning that in the end, Discord had the last laugh.

@@ARTSONICFAN990 No, the cherry on top was at 14:16. Sorry, couldn't resist.

At first I didn't understood what he meant then I remembered Bill can't escape the Nightmare realm on his own... That and Weirdmageddon stopped in Equestria (damn it)

You can hear it with his little giggle. “Still… *haha* I’m surprised you…” THATS when his pitch changes with a sinister, evil laugh.

Because it's against the rules. All DB fighters are forced to cancel their morals and kill at any cost. But Discord is chaos incarnate and his 4th wall/rebirth/dimension travel/time travel abilities are superior enough for him to pull it off so I figure what the hell.

If I go down...

​@@zacharymabb4873Discord: If I go down just to save Fluttershy & her friends... Then so be it.

Bill Cipher may be the winner, but Discord is the GOAT.

​​@@gmork1090I thought that rule only applied to situations where the character is a pacifist or has any reservations about killing their opponent I can't think of too many situations where the character's loved ones actually get in the way of the fight except when they're killed right off the bat to incite motivation

Which MLP creator, the original or Lauren Faust?

I imagine Lauren Faust, but why not everyone? The more the merrier 😂

I think the characterization in this battle is some of the best in the series imo

The live puppet show was especially hilarious.

it's funny you say that, Alex Hirsch is actually a well stated fan of the show he first saw death battle about 7 years ago and has been loosely following them since

And also guts vs dimitri

Not wholesome bittersweet

I would say mostly this whole season, the endings have been surprisingly emotional and in character.

Yeah and it’s great.

Guts vs dimitri had a pseudo bittersweet ending

Honestly, that would just make it *more* likely that he’d be so fed up that he goes full throttle and obliterates him. (Which is technically what happened with Time Baby too) Plus, you still gotta give him credit though. I mean, he did end up figuring out the Shacktron’s weakness afterwards.

@@ICTON123 the thing with the shack is it wouldn’t have been a threat, in multiple clips we see that many of the limbs aren’t covered by the barrier. He could have just grabbed one of them and smashed it against the ground crushing everyone inside. But he got flustered and just kept punching the barrier, refusing to let something be able to stop him

⁠@@Chaos706 That’s cause in his first go in against the thing (the first giant punch), you can see that the barrier could actually extend far beyond that depending on the size blows he was trying to throw. So it’s not really his fault for not realizing it sooner.

Discord lost the battle, but won the war.

That's what makes this match up so chaotic, it really inversed what a victory and loss was suppose to be.

That is in character for Discord.

​@@kappadarwin9476Now *that* was a feat to think about!

Fun fact. That 10 second scene took 10 hours to film.

this makes since

also hearing fluttershy speak in this death battle reminded me why i FREAKING love mlp fim this show changed my life thank you

​@@somechupacabrawithinternet8866 I watched My Little Pony in second grade because I thought Applejack was hot

Agreed. One of the sadder parts about Discord's sacrifice is that it didn't permanently stop Bill: he did successfully banish Bill away from Equestria, but it's been canonically proven that Bill can take all the time he needs to trick another mortal into opening a portal for him. When Ford stopped working on the portal, Bill just waited a few decades to trick Mabel into opening it (remember, Bill is over 1 trillion years old). Even IF Discord returns to life with knowledge of his opponent's powers (he probably won't, due to his spirit dying), the same applies to Bill once he finds his way back, which cancels out that advantage. At the same time, though, Discord was obviously low on options to handle Bill. Temporarily banishing Bill back to the Nightmare Realm was probably the smartest and best thing that Discord could've done with the sudden circumstances. If nothing else, he definitely bought time for his friends to hopefully prepare for Bill's return... and I'm sure that even a reality-warping demon like Bill would be better off avoiding a pissed off, vengeful version of _Fluttershy._

the thing is though, he was trapped at the start of the battle, they were never in canterlot, if you look at the portal at the end of the fight, you can see that no damage was done, and that the whole fight was in Discord's fake equestria

You realize Team My Little Pony lost... AGAIN, right? Will they EVER win?(And don't say no, because I checked.)

​@@ericdalhoff3507You realize the very first MLP Death Battle was a win for the pony, right?

Better??

@@ericdalhoff3507 Rainbow Dash won against Starscream, and Pinkie Pie's fight ith Deadpool ended in a happy end for everyone so you can't count that as a win.

​@@bosskaiju4834that first fight still runs me the wrong way.
